Poet Introduction
I do not know anything about the ABC's of poetry. I listen to my heartbeat and flow accordingly.

Her love has entered me
I think of her fondly
I remember her
Not once in a while
But now and always
For every moment lived
All the days I hope to live
I will always spare
A good thought for her
I can not imagine
How miserable, I will be
To take her out of my heart
I think of her very hard
I imagine her, us
Waking together
Each day, forever
Every passing day
Thoughts of her reminds me
Of all the things we have seen
Shared and hope to have
And now I wonder
If there will ever be a day ...
I remember her
Not once in a while
But now and always
For every moment lived
All the days I hope to live
I will always spare
A good thought for her
I can not imagine
How miserable, I will be
To take her out of my heart
I think of her very hard
I imagine her, us
Waking together
Each day, forever
Every passing day
Thoughts of her reminds me
Of all the things we have seen
Shared and hope to have
And now I wonder
If there will ever be a day ...

Abba Father
Not beholding our sins
You give salvation freely, without a penny
In You, we find our place of peace
And Your love forever etched in our hearts
Our feet stomping, our chests beating
We boast of our acquaintance and faith in You
Yet, falter we every tiny test and temptation
And diminish Your strength within our existence
When fear and anxiety come knocking
like unwelcome guests at our door
You wait not for our summons
And move forward with Your Holy deeds
Ever near, a constant presence amidst our midst ...
You give salvation freely, without a penny
In You, we find our place of peace
And Your love forever etched in our hearts
Our feet stomping, our chests beating
We boast of our acquaintance and faith in You
Yet, falter we every tiny test and temptation
And diminish Your strength within our existence
When fear and anxiety come knocking
like unwelcome guests at our door
You wait not for our summons
And move forward with Your Holy deeds
Ever near, a constant presence amidst our midst ...

Someone heart you
Even harder I tried
A social distancing I observed
between my heart and mind
Yet futile fruits I reaped
Through poem I speak
Essential words of truth
Fortunately unfortunate
To you my heart beats
Grasped by fate
The conception of you
torments me like a curse
Day and night
I absorbed in silent
So much for a true love
Inside my heart I kept
a seperate room for you
furnished with gooddies
To care and to love
From zero to infinity
Strange...

Margaret
The last toe of September
Till 7am rebirth of sunrise
Death came like thieves
Breaking our Door of love
Like Job from Uz
A dreaded thing has met us
Our pains, full to the brim
Our eyes unhappily tearing
We've become a mountain's cap
Icing and frosting
The wholeness of us is quaking
Burning sensations like lakes on fire
To one with the air you go
Across the streets and corners
And all else can taste
How our fear smell like gasoline
Perfume delicacies was your kitchen ...
Till 7am rebirth of sunrise
Death came like thieves

A clock with dying batteries
I consider me a wild thick forest
Left alone with no one caring
My sense of self has abandoned me
I’m the victim of the open wound sting
A thought of malady and suicide
Death is too late coming
Once a jewel of the shop
One of Maker’s begotten sons
Tick-tocking with fellow tick-tocks
I would show off my twelve packs
Like brightly coloured petals
Pray tell, the gesture of my hands now
Till she walked in blink and smile
Held me like the baby of her manger
In love with my hands of unequal length
...

SELF POEM

Me
My mind think of me a hard body
Tall, muscular and a beard gang
Free spirited without fear of another
In silent obedience
My heart observes with smiles
reshuffling my thoughts and feelings
Reminded of my true identity
I am calm, comported
and feel resurrected from death
I wine and dine few words
soaked in truth and essence
and distaste long talks
Perfumed serenity with good music
tickles my heart to express its deepest
secrecy and mysticism through poetry
Tall, muscular and a beard gang
Free spirited without fear of another
In silent obedience
My heart observes with smiles
reshuffling my thoughts and feelings
Reminded of my true identity
I am calm, comported
and feel resurrected from death
I wine and dine few words
soaked in truth and essence
and distaste long talks
Perfumed serenity with good music
tickles my heart to express its deepest
secrecy and mysticism through poetry

CONFESSION
Love cast a spell on me
An undefined masculinity charm portion
Few and far between but a single entity
Claimed upon by another and yet burns in my heart
A sweet-bitter feeling
suffered my heart, the thought of you
Old-fashioned tears soaked my bed,
as I rested my inviting fatigue body
Dead I am but half alive in love
In a hopeless quagmire
my heart grieved in disbelieve
and wallowed for doom to settle
A safe haven it shall be
To love and to be loved
for that...

IN ESSENCE INEVITABLE
The morning smiled joyfully
Raindrops silently sneaked in uninform
Indulging with gentleness
The feet of an abundant gorgeous
The leaves danced as the wind tickled
Priding tenderly in a cultural display
The sight of an uncommon beauty
Among the crown of odum trees
Sun rays played hide-and-seek
An installed romantic trick by nature
To take a selfie with thee
A satisfied African from the West
My Ghanaian, the pride of the Ashantis
Flawlessly fashioned with smiles unfading
This colourless...

Twisted
Can it be?
What is this that i feel?
An unpleasant tickling
A Lukewarm sensation
A blend of many
But different feelings
sweet and bitter
Joy and sadness
Laughter and cry
I wish we never crossed path
I wish I never behold her beauty
Nor feel the warmth of her soft palms.
It feels like i drunk a poison.
I can only hope it doesnt kill me
For whatever i feel
If it is love
It can only be forbidden.

PlayBoy
Far and wide he studied and crept in unaware
Wearing distinguished stylists with a breathtaking odor
Looking exclusively heroic, delicious and dreamlike
He carries the gizmo to cajole your reservations
Making your senses abandoned their defenses wordlessly
Slothfully and gently awaking your heart from hibernation
He compromises and dances according to your jingles
With pleasure he embraces your words, dispositions and actions.
Enthralling you to believe you share identical temperament.
He is a sweet-talker and a stealer of thoughts ...

to my heart
Why feel so despondent inside me oh my heart?
Is He not truthful in every possible meaning?
Faithful is He who unceasingly satisfies us
His love is unchanging towards us
His chief joy of creation
Cheer up and trust
He will provide
Now, tomorrow
Always
